Overview: what to expect from Nexamp customer service
Nexamp is a major U.S. distributed solar and community-solar provider (see nexamp.com for program specifics). For residential and commercial customers their customer service function covers enrollment, billing and crediting, system performance monitoring, interconnection support and escalations. Good customer service for community solar is operationally complex: it requires synchronizing utility billing cycles, meter data transfers, and periodic production reports from the project’s SCADA or monitoring platform.
As an experienced customer you should expect structured workflows rather than ad-hoc responses: an initial intake, a ticket number, regular progress updates, and a documented resolution. Many efficient providers — including leading community solar suppliers — aim to respond to non-urgent inquiries within 24 business hours, resolve routine billing questions within 7–10 business days, and prioritize outages or safety events on a 24–72 hour timeframe.
Channels, hours and response expectations
The primary channels for Nexamp customer support are the online customer portal, email ticketing, and a dedicated phone line listed on your billing statement or the company website. Use the portal first for account-specific actions (download invoices, view generation reports, update billing payment methods); portals reduce resolution time because they already contain the account identifiers customer reps need.
When you contact support, always note the ticket number and the stated SLA. For community-solar issues, the most common SLAs are: initial acknowledgement within 24 business hours, preliminary investigation completed within 3–5 business days, and full resolution within 7–30 business days depending on complexity. Escalations for safety, interconnection failures, or meter problems should be flagged as urgent so they move to a field-service workflow immediately.
Enrollment and onboarding: timeline and required documents
Onboarding into a Nexamp community solar subscription typically involves three operational steps: consent/authorization with your utility, verification of your utility account, and allocation of a share from a nearby solar project. In practice this process often takes 4–8 weeks from signup to first applied credit; timelines can extend to 10–12 weeks when a utility requires additional verification or when interconnection/metering data are delayed.
To accelerate onboarding, have the following items ready when you contact customer service. Upload these to the portal or include them in your initial email to avoid back-and-forth requests and shorten the enrollment window.
- Current utility bill (most recent): includes account number, service address and billing cycle.
- Photo ID or proof of residency for the service address (driver’s license, lease, deed) if required for authorization.
- Completed authorization/assignment form signed electronically or physically (Nexamp will provide the exact form during enrollment).
- Contact phone and email, plus preferred billing address and whether you wish to enroll in autopay or paperless statements.
- If a third party signs up, a Power of Attorney (POA) or proof of authority to act on the account must be submitted.
Billing, credits and how to read your statement
Community solar credits are generally applied as a separate line item on your utility bill or as a credit on a supplier statement, depending on how your state structures community solar compensation. Typical billing cadence is monthly (30-day cycles); credits for generation are calculated from the project meter’s kWh production multiplied by your allocation percentage and the agreed credit rate. Monthly savings commonly range from 5% to 15% relative to the energy supply portion of the bill, though actual savings vary by location, retail rates and project performance.
When reviewing a disputed bill, focus on three numeric items: (1) kWh credited (generation x your share), (2) the dollar value of the credit and how it was applied (supply charge vs. total bill), and (3) the billing period dates. If credits are missing, provide your utility account number, the billing date, one month’s bill PDF, and screenshots of your Nexamp portal generation report if available. That evidence allows customer service to reconcile statements with meter data and often resolves disputes within one billing cycle.
Technical support and system performance
Technical inquiries fall into two categories: system availability (is the array producing at all?) and production performance (is it producing less than expected?). For availability issues, report the outage with the date/time range, your account and meter numbers, and whether your monitoring portal shows zero production. A normal triage includes remote diagnostics first (confirm SCADA communications and inverter status) followed by scheduling a field technician if remote fixes fail.
Understand the performance baselines: modern PV modules typically degrade roughly 0.4–0.8% per year; seasonal variation can cause ±20–40% swings between winter and summer in many U.S. climates. Expect Nexamp’s monitoring reports to provide monthly kWh, year-to-date generation, and a comparison to modeled production. If actual generation deviates by more than 10–20% from modeled or historical performance, escalate with documented meter reads and at least 3 months of data for trending analysis.
Escalation procedures and regulatory remedies
If frontline customer service does not resolve your issue, escalate by requesting supervisor review and obtain a written escalation plan with dates and expected actions. Document every interaction (ticket numbers, names, timestamps). If the issue persists beyond the provider’s stated SLA, the next step is escalation to the company’s regulatory or compliance team; ask customer service to route your case directly to that team and provide a reference number for the escalation.
When all commercial options are exhausted, consumers have a final recourse with the state utility commission or public utilities board. Typical regulatory processes require that you have first attempted resolution with the provider and waited a reasonable period (often 30–60 days). Keep copies of your enrollment contract, billing statements and the entire ticket history to support any formal complaints.
Best practices for faster resolutions
Maintain a single shared place for correspondence: a dedicated email thread or the portal ticket keeps the history intact. Opt into electronic statements and autopay if you want fewer billing interruptions; autopay prevents late fees while disputes are resolved. Always include the utility account number, service address and meter ID in your initial message — missing identifiers are the most common cause of delayed responses.
Finally, monitor monthly generation reports for trends and download quarterly or annual production reports for your records. When contacting Nexamp customer service, be concise: state the issue, provide requested identifiers and attach clear evidence (PDF bills, screenshots) — that focused approach consistently shortens resolution times and improves outcomes.

Is there a downside to Nexamp?
To recap the cons of Nexamp solar: Poor customer service reviews. Non eligibility of solar tax credits. Smaller potential savings compared to your own solar installation.
Why am I getting a bill from Nexamp?
Community solar subscribers receive two monthly bills. The utility will issue you a bill each month for their energy minus the value of the Nexamp community solar credits. Nexamp will then invoice you separately for the value of the community solar credits at your allotted discount.
